5 x 10^3
Assuming you mean a whole number power of 10, then no. However, allowing for a non-whole number, then: 20000 ≈ 104.30103, since log10 20000 ≈ 4.30103
6 x 10^3
You add as many zeros to the number as you have in the power of 10.
You could write it as 7120 * 1/10.
5 x 10^3
It IS a whole number!
Help me I can't figure it out

When a whole number is multiplied by a power of ten, the number's digits shift to the left by the number of zeros in the power of ten. In this case, multiplying 5000 by 10^3 (which is 10 raised to the power of 3, or 1000) results in 5000 shifted three places to the left, becoming 5,000,000. This is because 10^3 has three zeros.
